I was on holiday last week so missed the big gaming weekend on Radio 1. Actually I did hear the Tetris theme being played on a neighbour's radio but essentially I missed all of it. Of course being 36 – about the same age as Chris Moyles – I realise that the event wasn't aimed at me but you have to applaud the Beeb for finally realising that Radio 1 listeners are likely to be seriously into their games. Unfortunately the listener poll for favourite game was sadly predictable. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare won, beating classics like Ocarina, World of Warcraft and, er, Fifa 09. Good game and all that but is COD4 really an all-time classic like Ocarina, Sensible Soccer and the rest?
Maybe it's an age thing. After all the average 18 year old Radio 1 listener will have been – gulp - 9 or 10 years old when Metal Gear Solid , Ocarina and Goldeneye were released. What do you think of the list then? Any glaring, Paradroid-sized omissions?
